Astonishing Power

"How dare you bully my mom!" Anger showed on Wang Sheng's adorable little face.

Wang Sheng pushed both hands forward, and the Ki Blast shot back even faster than before. Under Raditz's disbelieving gaze, it exploded right against him.

Bulma was dumbfounded by what she saw. She remembered Wang Yang saying that because Wang Sheng was born from the two of them, he possessed incredibly powerful energy. She hadn't known just how powerful until now.

Wang Yang had already been incredibly strong five years ago. Wang Sheng's power level had been extremely high from the moment he was born.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Raditz had taken the full force of his own Ki Blast. Smoke rose from his body as he hovered in midair, panting and glaring furiously at the people below.

"Damn you!" Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and glared at Raditz in the sky. White light radiated from his tiny body as he clenched his little fists and shot upward. He moved so fast that his hair streamed straight back.

Beep! Beep!

Raditz's Scouter kept blaring warnings as he hovered in midair.

"What? His power level is rising? Two thousand... three thousand... five thousand!"

No one noticed the mysterious, intricate pattern on Wang Sheng's back flashing with golden light as the number on Raditz's Scouter reached five thousand.

"Five thousand? The Scouter must be malfunctioning." Raditz stared at the frozen number and cried out in disbelief. He refused to believe a brat could possess such power.

Ah!

Seeing the kid flying up from below, Raditz shouted and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Little Sheng!" Bulma watched the sky anxiously.

Wang Sheng's tiny body surged with overwhelming power. In an instant, he burst through Raditz's back, spraying a great cloud of blood.

"This... this..." Krillin stammered in astonishment. He knew exactly how powerful Raditz was. Even he and Master Roshi had been helpless against a single Ki Blast.

His forward momentum spent, Wang Sheng realized how high he had flown. The island below was now just a black speck, and he panicked, flailing about in midair.

"Ah! Help! I can't fly yet!"

"Krillin, catch Little Sheng!" Seeing her adorable son falling from more than a thousand meters up, Bulma was terrified. She hurriedly called to Krillin for help.

Krillin nodded and leaped high into the air, catching Wang Sheng as he flailed in panic. Then he landed safely on the ground.

Just then, a loud crash rang out. Raditz had fallen to the ground.

A huge hole gaped in Raditz's chest, and blood poured from it. His mouth hung open, and his eyes stared blankly.

"I never thought that the great Raditz... would one day... be killed by a brat..."

"Don't get too cocky... In a year... my comrades will arrive... They're far stronger than I am... They'll avenge me... They'll avenge me! It won't just be you... Everyone on this planet... will be killed... Ha... ha!" Raditz shakily raised a hand and pointed at Wang Sheng in Krillin's arms. His voice grew weaker and weaker.

As soon as Raditz finished speaking, his arm dropped to the ground. His eyes remained wide open, staring unwillingly at the sky as he lay motionless.

"Ah!" Seeing Raditz point at her son before he died, Bulma was terrified.

"You weren't pointing at my son. You had to be pointing at Krillin, right?"

"..." Krillin gave Bulma a wounded look.

"Hmph, you're useless. You couldn't even beat that awful Saiyan!" Bulma was furious.

Women weren't reasonable when they were angry. Krillin gave a wry smile.

"That was amazing!"

Krillin looked at Wang Sheng in his arms and sighed. He had trained hard his whole life, yet he was no match for a four-year-old child.

"Are you hurt?" Bulma snatched Wang Sheng away and held him, checking him over from every angle in case anything was wrong.

"Wang Sheng, you were incredible!" Gohan ran over, looking at Wang Sheng with admiration.

"Haha!" Wang Sheng laughed and waved his arms excitedly.

"Don't celebrate too soon. Their comrades will come to Earth in a year."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Who?" Everyone turned around.

"Ah!"

"King Piccolo!" Krillin and Master Roshi were struck with terror. The fear they had once felt under King Piccolo's rule came rushing back.

Bulma hugged her son even tighter. With her husband gone, she was terrified.

Gohan, meanwhile, curiously studied the green-skinned man in front of them, whose clothes were somewhat tattered and whose face bore several scars.

"Hey! Where are Son Goku and Wang Yang?" Piccolo shouted at them.

"They're not on Earth!" Bulma stammered.

"What?" Piccolo was stunned, his eyes nearly popping out of his head. The evil Saiyans would arrive in a year, and those two weren't even on Earth. Did they expect him to fight them?

Damn it! Piccolo, the great demon king who had been determined to rule the world, had somehow become the main defender against an evil invasion of Earth.

Piccolo gritted his teeth. This was completely against everything he stood for. He was supposed to be a demon king, so why was he being made into a savior?

The biggest problem was that he couldn't win. That guy called Raditz had just beaten him to a pulp.

"These two brats have enormous potential. I'm taking them to train." Piccolo picked up Gohan, then headed toward Krillin to take Wang Sheng as well.

"You're going to eat them, aren't you?" Krillin stepped back in terror.

"Idiot! I, Piccolo, don't eat people! I'm going to train them so they can fight the enemy who'll arrive in a year!" Piccolo roared furiously at Krillin.

"Krillin, these two children have great power within them. With Wang Yang and Goku away, they really do need a strict teacher like Piccolo," Master Roshi said after a moment's thought.

"I refuse!" Seeing Master Roshi about to hand her child over to the evil King Piccolo, Bulma flew into a rage. She punched Master Roshi on the head, raising a huge bump, then clutched Wang Sheng protectively and refused to let go.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Master Roshi covered his head with both hands.

"My Wang Yang is only away training in space. He'll be back soon, and then he can teach Little Sheng himself!" Bulma said with a cold snort.

"Hmm?" Piccolo looked at Wang Sheng, who was standing opposite him with his fists clenched and his expression fierce. Once again, he felt that power that made his whole body tremble.

"Hmph! In that case, forget it!" Piccolo snorted and, sensibly, grabbed Gohan and flew away at once. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, the brat across from him would punch him too. He didn't want to meet the same end as Raditz.

"Ah! Help!" Gohan's panicked cries grew fainter and fainter overhead.
